Spirituality versus Religion

It is simple: people are getting away from religion and searching for spirituality. Why? Because people with awareness, those who read the news everyday and look at least a little farther than that, can realize that religion (or the abuse of it) is the reason behind several wars which are taking place around the world, even in our days. One can definitely argue that it is not religion, but people who are using religion as a cover up for their selfish greed or ambition. and I cannot agree more. Still, I can't deny that several religious beliefs and dogma have been the driving force behind violence led by the naive, thinking that by killing others who differ from them, in their religious background, or even race or color, they are doing a favor to "God". At least religious beliefs have left space for such violence and inhuman behaviors, if not promoted it firsthand.

Therefore, and since people have been searching anywhere other than the traditional religions, we see a trend to go into eastern religions and Neo-Paganism and New Age. but what would be the answer that the Christian Church should  offer?

I believe that the answer is the "Neo-Christianity", the term I would like to use to the modern revision that should be made to traditional doctrine. It is not getting away from the basics, but rather revising the human tradition that has evolved around the basics, and added to it at later stages, which is in many instances very contradictory, in word and spirit, to what Jesus Christ taught.

The Christian Church need to look around and present the core of the Christian message in a way that is revolutionary and more relevant to the young people of the age who are searching for answers other than in the message of: "If you do not obey God, you will go to hell"

A revision need to be made to move the Christian faith from a Religious movement to a modern Spiritual Movement. Are you In?

Looking forward to 2029 AD

Why is it important to look forward to this pivotal year? Why am I interested in telling people about it? For a long time, people who study Bible prophecies, Cults or Orthodox Christians, have been assigning or at least building expectations around relevant dates that mark certain phases. Jehovah's witnesses have been the best failures in assigning dates. They started by 1884, 1887, 1914, 1925, 1975, generation of 1914.. Etc. Seventh Day Adventists had one failing prediction of 1844. Recently, some small groups of Born Again Christians started also assigning some dates.  May 21, 2011 was one widely marketed date, while Hal Lindsay assigned the generation ending 1988 to witness the end of the world. All of the above dates did not witness anything unusual, in the supernatural sense of the world.  Now the question arises: Are we supposed to know when Christ will come and the end of the Current world will be reached? 1. The Bible clearly says that the exact dates...

Christmas and the end of the world

It has been a while since I first decided to write about this idea that has been going around in my head. But, as a Bible student aware of end time prophecies in both the Old and New testaments, I can’t but say how I see the link between the days that we live in and the end of this age. Therefore, it is a time to speak my words load. From the political scene, to the natural, cultural and ethical situation of the world, I see the signs of the imminent end of this world. Not that I believe the Mayan Calendar is correct and the world will end in three weeks time, because somehow I know it won’t. But it is a sense that I see in the news that I read every day. The least I can say is that the world cannot continue the way it is. And the direction of world events is down into darkness. So either Nuclear Dark Ages are ahead, or God will get fed up with the Awfulness of man and will interfere to save a remnant of people who still cherish ethics, and value human life. And with my knowledg...
